This article came out six weeks ago, there's enough public evidence that @foreignpolicy.com let me say "bribed" without caveat, and still, the new Kushner revelations show he was BRIBED. Directly bribed. Right into secret foreign accounts bribed. Massively corrupt, ultimately world-changing bribes.

UPDATE: Sid Miller went on MSNOW today to say that he did not vote for Governor Greg Abbott, who he blasted for taking money from data centers. I am struggling to find the words to describe how wild this all is.
‼️‼️ Outgoing Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller endorses Democrat Clayton Tucker over Nate Sheets, who he accuses of being a "snake" with a porn addiction. Miller was once a close Trump ally + among Texas's most rightwing GOPers but has been critical of Abbott, data centers and the hemp ban.

A close family member of mine went through this same harrowing experience 2 years ago. Like the author of this article, they were also in their 30s. Their lung capacity is still heavily compromised today. Please get your flu shot (and COVID shot, too). www.voicesforvaccines.org/influenza-pu...

As the Trump regime sues LA officials for not disqualifying 20,000 people DHS has labeled as non-citizens based upon their screening tool, it is good to remember that DHS used to same tool to identify over 15,000 non-citizen voters in Nevada. Complete checks revealed that ALL of them are citizens.

Quoting Trump's social media post of today, Judge Reyes orders govt to explain by 8pm whether it still takes the positions it took 2 days ago. Also orders Associate AG Stan Woodward to attend hearing tomorrow.
12-days in the suit to stop Trump from converting a historic DC golf course, open to all, to a Trump-style championship course. 2 days ago, DOJ attys called Trump's plan "nascent." Today Trump launched his plan & said the existing course closes on 11/15.

Military leaders becoming amplifiers of obviously false politically-motivated messages is a norm breaking danger sign.
Yikes. In a desperate-sounding video, CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper insists the Strait of Hormuz is “controlled by the United States… not Iran” and “open for business,” despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

This implies the existence of right-wing transgender witches sticking with the President, and I urgently need them in a @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social focus group.

Seriously. It’s actually good quality stuff. My shirts have held up well through about 100 loads in my strangely violent washer, and the mugs don’t stain, crack in the washer or have the designs wear off (and I am not kind to my mugs). Check it out.

That all said, the idea that you get autonomous hacking computers is not entirely frivolous, but it doesn't look like Anthropic or OpenAI models somehow "escaping" onto regular computers and running there. The risk isn't zero because there are other more realistic ways you could get there

This is a good example of how you need quite a lot of detail of how these systems *actually* work to understand what the risks are, and how over-indexing on sci-fi can lead you a bit astray on what the future looks like
Anthropic's models run on terabytes of VRAM. It's not going to "just copy itself to other computers."
